LET'S NOT beat around the bush: owning a vagina doesn't come cheap
There's no denying the tampon tax doesn't make a table-friendly topic of conversation.
A heated debate on the matter is in full swing, in all of its sanitary glory.
But hygiene products aren't the only female-friendly cost putting pressure on women's pockets.
Buddy Loans have looked into the real expense of having a vagina, and to put it simply - the results aren't pretty.
Between birth control pills, new underwear, PMS relief and pubic hair removal, women are shelling out a pretty penny for their nether regions.
Other women-exclusive expenses include thrush treatment, anti-itch cream and specialist appointments.
The guarantor loans company has released a film to reveal their finance-threatening findings.
The alarming figures show that ladies' private parts cost almost £1000 per year.
In a lifetime, the average woman will spend almost £20,000 dealing with menstruation.
Of this, an estimated £922 will sink straight into the taxman's pocket.
Also amongst the jaw-dropping revelations is £8 per month on new underwear and £25 for waxing at 9 times per year.
As it stands, the UK currently applies a 5% reduced rate of VAT to the supply of sanitary products, which is the lowest rate possible under current EU VAT law.
